My Wishlist | Discovery Sets Pt. 2

So many discovery sets and so little time and money. Here are more scents I want to try. I discovered these brands while binging Korean what's in my bag or perfume collection videos. Almost every video mentions the brands below or Byredo, Le Labo, and Jo Malone. 

(Note: Top, Heart, and Base Notes are separated by periods. I put an asterisk on scents I am most looking forward to.)

Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella Discovery Kit Firenze 1221 ($23)

Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella has so many fragrances, unfortunately, they don't have samples for all of the products available on the website. However, they do have this one discovery kit. There are eight 2ml eau de cologne sprays in this kit. I want to try this kit because I enjoy citrus fragrances, however, I am skeptical of their longevity (eau de cologne). 

• *Acqua della Regina: Italian citrus fruits, Neroli, Petitgrain. Neroli, Rosemary, Cloves, Lavender. Patchouli, Musk
• *Angeli di Firenze: Peach, Orange. Marine notes, Jasmine, Blackcurrant. Sandalwood, Vanilla, Musk.
• Fresia: Fresia Accord. Violet, Cabbage (Centifolia) Rose Absolute. Iris, Musk.
• **Melograno: Bergamot, Bitter Orange, Fresh Spices. Pomegranate Chord, Rose, Ylang-Ylang. Oak moss, Labdanum, Patchouli, Musk.
• *Pot Pourri: Bergamot, Bitter Orange, Laurel. Lavender, Thyme, Cloves, Rosemary. Patchouli, Cedar Wood, Balsam of Peru.
• Rosa Novella: Lemon, Petitgrain. Cabbage Rose, Jasmine, Gardenia. Patchouli, Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Musk.
• *Rosa Gardenia: Bergamot, Almond Blossom, Orange Blossom. Gardenia, Cabbage Rose, Fig Flower, Jasmine. Sandalwood, Vanilla, Musk.
• Tobacco Toscano: Bergamot, Tuscan Tobacco Leaves. Leather, Amber, Birch Wood. Cedar Wood, Guaiacum, Sandalwood, Musk, Vanilla.

Other scents I would like to try from them include Lavanda Imperiale, Alba di Seoul, Lana, Acqua di Sicilia, Eva, Zagara, Mughetto, Cinquanta.

Nonfiction Discovery EDP Set ($35)

This EDP set contains five 2.5ml sprays. Nonfiction claims to celebrate daily life, speaks to the naked truth, and hopes for us to discover ourselves again. It's a "lifestyle beauty brand created for and inspired by your most honest self.... we present a fragrance line that creates a mysterious and unique mood, and a body care product line that completes the beginning to end of the day cycles." Maybe it's just my pessimism and bitchiness, but that sounds so pretentious. 

• Santal Cream: cardamom and bergamot. Ginger, mimosa, and fig. Sandalwood and vetiver. Genderless.
• Gentle Night: iris and bergamot. White tea, fig, and suede. Moss, cedarwood, musk, and vanilla. Genderless.
• Gaiac Flower: bergamot. Wild rose. Oriental amber, ambrette seed, vanilla, and guaiac wood. Genderless.
• Forget Me Not: basil and pink pepper. Green and gardenia. Woody amber. Genderless.
• In The Shower: bitter orange and Campari accord. Thyme and patchouli. Guaiac wood, cedarwood, and tobacco. Genderless.

Equally excited for each. Though I'm not expecting it to have the best longevity according to reviews. 

Tamburins Perfume hand sample kit  (₩ 3,000 ≈ $3)

I saw this hand cream featured in so many videos. The shape! It's such an interesting design. In addition, many K-Pop celebs (Taeyeon and Bobby) have mentioned this brand. They do not have perfumes but they do have "multi-fragrance" that can be used as a room or fabric spray, and creams that double up as a perfume. This kit includes 8 different fragrances of hand cream.

• Fey 9: Fig tree, Ambrette seed, Sweet bitterness
• *Vein: Laurel leaf, Lily of the valley, Neat leather
• Posy: Rose bushes, Patchouli, Wet soil
• *Her: Cedar, Violet leaf, Citrus
• *Blessed: Blackberry, Citrus, Fruity fragrance
• *Flow: Sandalwood, Subtle leather scent, Spicy
• Fear: Hard soil and root, Grapefruit, Fresh air
• ***000: Sandalwood, Patchouli, Earthy

Have you tried any of these brands?
